[sdiy] Broken CR-78

I uploaded a pic of the aforementioned ground wire if anyone is interested in seeing what I'm talking about. It can be viewed here:

  My highly-anticipated roland cr-78 just arrived. It's broke.

  I realize this is a DIY-synth mailing list, but it is the best place I can find to get some feedback, suggestions and/or solutions to this problem.

  Here's the situation:

  It made some sounds when I first received it, but not all. Notably absent was the kick and snare. The next day it made fewer sounds. Today it doesn't make any. As it is now, when I hit "Start/Stop" all I hear is a sudden increase in noise. When I hit "Start/Stop" again the noise stops.

  Also, the first day I received it I could barely hear the audio using the "high imp" audio-out. I instead had to use the "low imp" out, which was still quiet, though not as bad.

  I opened it up to see if anything obvious could be causing the problem. The only thing even remotely unusual, to me, is a possibly relocated ground wire.

  I have pics of this ground wire (66kb) and other hi-res pics of the machine's interior if anyone is interested in having a look.

  Many, many thanks in advance.


  Chad
